15 Historical Problems in the Qur’an You Need to Know — Dr. Jay Smith

Was the Qur’an really preserved perfectly from the beginning? In this presentation, Dr. Jay Smith examines some of the central claims made about the Qur’an — that it is uncreated, was sent down to Muhammad, was completed under Uthman, and has been perfectly preserved without human interference. He then examines historical questions surrounding the Qur’an, including alleged anachronisms, the references to the Samaritan, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, crucifixion, Mary and Aaron, Mecca, the Qibla, Pharaoh and Haman, Alexander the Great, and the use of the term “dirham.” The presentation also examines statements attributed to early and modern Muslim scholars concerning verses and passages that were reportedly lost, forgotten, cancelled, overlooked, modified, substituted, or otherwise absent from later collections. The central question is simple: Was the Qur’an really compiled and preserved exactly as Muslims traditionally claim?
